-'. b e e u r d e m p i r e : version 13

About: As nice as v12 looked, IMO, it did have it's drawbacks, mainly the fixed-width of it's content sections which meant that displaying sigs and other images was hard. Plus I wanted to PHP-ise the site to make it easier to update.

What's new? PHP templates provide the core of the design. I incorporated some of the developments from the previous versions into this design.

*BEEURDEMPIRE[12]

About: It was due for a change, v11 was well over a year old, and v12 had been on the drawing boards since June 2004. then an incident with some former work colleagues forced me to make a rash decision and pull the whole thing down. the new year is a time for a fresh start, i thought... Also, I registered the name "www.beeurd.com" hehe

What's new? Reverse-engineered a falling snow JavaScript to create a rising bubbles script, created a JavaScript/PHP to launch thumbnail images into a new window without creating individual pages for the images.

: beeurdEmpire : versionEleven-two :

About: I still think it's awesome. it went through several minor redesigns during its faithful service.

What's new? As below, only a different layout.

: beeurdEmpire : versionEleven :

About: The original version 11 index page.

What's new? A total redesign from scratch. There was a TagBoard and the first time I added a Weblog and Webcam to my site. Also, I think the Signature Gallery showed itself for the first time.

..:: Beeurd Empire :.. v10.0 .:..

About: I got bored and turned the site into a crazy kinda database for my fictional Beeurd Empire Starfleet. how crazy am I? but I think the design was cool... very cool... Mmm... All based off a sig I made in paint...

What's new? Again, nothing new here.

About: My site beeurd.co.uk was due to expire and I couldn't be bothered to renew it, so I knocked together a quick design based on my signature at the time (also version 9, coincidently). I never developed it further, so it really only acted as a holding page saying that I'd get my personal site up eventually.

What's new? Nothing, really.

Beeurd Empire Web Design
(image unavailable)

About: I finally got round to doing something with beeurdempire.co.uk and made a design for the site that would still never be a webdesign company. lol

What's new? ICRA rating (which was then added to v7 after this design), and a JavaScript banner rotator for advertising my Star Wars site.

Beeurd 7.0

About: This design looked about 5 years out of date when I made it, I basically only used red, darkred, green, and lime colours in it. It was bad.

What's new? Who cares?

beeurd.co.uk 3

About: My first dark design, I think it looked cool. Dunno why I didn't use it longer... oh well.

What's new? Another little bit of JavaScript to change the contents of a table cell when you rollover a menu link.

beeurd.co.uk 2 reloaded

About: With the new version, I decided to revamp the old design of my site. It looked shite.

What's new? JavaScript Image rollovers.

beeurd.co.uk 2

About: By mid-2001 my skillz had grown much, and with money from my job at McDonalds I bought the domains "www.beeurd.co.uk" and "www.beeurdempire.co.uk" from Easily and made a proper site about me, with cool javascript menu and nice CSSishness. twas all lovely.

What's new? A little JavaScript, and I started using a CSS for the style of the design.

beeurd.co.uk

About: Still on Geocities in 2001 (I could only dream of having my own domain name then), this was another useless waste of time that never got past the design stage.

What's new? The <TABLE> tag featured here, where I began using tables for layout. Also, there was a <MARQUEE> or two around.

BEE-URD!

About: The first time i used my current screen-name, albiet slightly different then. this was hosted on MSN homepages briefly, then on Geocities in early 2000. Nothing much ever got done with it, though.

What's new? Customised hyperlink colours was about the only new thing in this version, which was completely hand-coded by myself.

(Andy's Industries)
(image unavailable)

About: A simple one-page site about my fictional company called Andy's Industries, it was made in about 1998 basically just so I could test out the design aspect of this internet thing I had recently discovered. twas hosted on Angelfire, and all data related to this site has been lost to time.

What's new? I learned basic HTML for this, including <HR>, <IMG>, <FONT>, and other basic tags, as well as animated .GIF images. Initially I used Microsoft Frontpage Express, but abandoned it after I had grasped the HTML myself.
